socks(8)                    Universal proxy server                    socks(8)


NAME

       socks - SOCKS 4/4.5/5 gateway service


SYNOPSIS

       socks [-d] [-l[[@]logfile]] [-pport] [-iinternal_ip] [-eexternal_ip]


DESCRIPTION

       socks is SOCKS server. It supports SOCKSv4, SOCKSv4.5 (extension to v4
       for server side name resolution) and SOCKSv5. SOCKSv5 specification
       allows both outgoing and reverse TCP connections and UDP portmapping.


OPTIONS

       -I     Inetd mode. Standalone service only.

       -d     Daemonise. Detach service from console and run in the
              background.

       -t     Be silenT. Do not log start/stop/accept error records.

       -u     Never ask for username authentication

       -e     External address. IP address of interface proxy should initiate
              connections from. External IP must be specified if you need
              incoming connections.  By default system will deside which
              address to use in accordance with routing table.

       -i     Internal address. IP address proxy accepts connections to.  By
              default connection to any interface is accepted. It's usually
              unsafe.

       -p     Port. Port proxy listens for incoming connections. Default is
              1080.

       -l     Log. By default logging is to stdout. If logfile is specified
              logging is to file. Under Unix, if '@' preceeds logfile, syslog
              is used for logging.


CLIENTS

       You should use client with SOCKS support or use some socksification
       support (for example SocksCAP or FreeCAP).  Configure client to use
       internal_ip and port.  SOCKS allows to use almost any application
       protocol without limitation. This implementation also allows to open
       priviledged port on server (if socks has sufficient privileges). If you
       need to control access use 3proxy(8) instead.
